Thought so just come back from staines no 37s just DEs and 458s

Still pointless though just wasting forum space with stupid jokes!

 

[455/8]

i'm not really a fan of these new paint jobs on the 455's i think they looked better in the stage coach branding i persona;;y fell that they should have just given them a new lick of paint and cleaned up the interior. but hey thats just my oppinion.

Wha?!? The refurbished 455s are much better than the old ones, even the Southern refurbs are!
